Conservative Values and Moral Rectitude: McGurn: How Obama's 'Life of Julia' Prevailed - WSJ.com

McGurn: How Obama's 'Life of Julia' Prevailed - WSJ.com


A quick look at most of Europe shows what happens when the last socialist straw goes on the back of the economic camel.

Greece is the lesson people should be looking at.

And, if one wants to see the devolution of the middle class, look at California. There middle class private sector jobs disappear and higher paying tech jobs are left.

The real problem with 'conservative' is that economic self-sufficiency are mixed up with the mores of the religious right.

Thus, being fiscally conservative is compromised by the religious (can we say 'wacks') who have their own moral compass they feel they have the right to impose on others (think today's article on Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt).

It would be nice if the Republicans could become a party without the religiously intolerant and focus on fiscally conservative values supporting economic opportunity instead of equality of results.

But, when someone is indoctrinated with a religious belief, moral rectitude is far too often a part of the package - and, who likes to be told what to do!
